For a 6.42M Inland, what are the Probable Correct barrel Dates?

[deldriver]

From a CCNL dealing with the 6.2 to 6.4 range, it looks like yours would be about 11-44; there can always be some variance in that date though. Also, there seems to be a fair amount of Inland undated barrels in your range. I hope this helps you.

Are you indicating that my Inland was assembled about 11-44? If so, then wouldn't the Inland barrel be made about 2 or 3 months earlier than that in all likelihood?

No, the carbine would have been assembled later than that with an Inland barrel from about 11-44. The fact that the Underwood barrel has the correct date for the Inland receiver is pure coincidence. Setting out to 'correct' a carbine is an expensive venture that frequently doesn't turn out well. Re-barreling a carbine is definitely not for the hobbyist. You have a carbine that was most likely overhauled in 1949 and put in it's present configuration. It may have been used that way in the Korean Conflict and that is the configuration it was in when sold off by the DCM. You might want to consider preserving that piece of history.
